Fig ID help

9 years ago

I purchased an unlabeled fig tree from a local nursery a couple of years ago. Now that I have fruit on it, I am hoping to get an ID. Here is a photo of the leaves and fruit. The fig I picked this morning is 3 inches from end of stem to end of fruit. When I cut the fig this morning, I realized it is not ripe yet. Any suggestions?

It kind of resembles violet de bourdeaux. Post another pic of a ripe fig, if it turns deep purple or almost black, it's a good chance it is vdb.

Ok, the figs on my three are starting to ripen and I am still not sure what variety I have. As you can see from the photos above, it is a purple fig with strawberry pink flesh. These figs are very large, about 2-1/2 across and 3 inches long. This morning, I found this one that had been chewed by some varmit. Any more ideas on the ID of this fig?
